RADISH (Raphanus sativus)
CULTURE: Sow seed in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Successive
sowings can be made through May, and again after mid-August. Hot, dry
weather hastens bolting and causes the roots to become strong-flavored
and woody. Sow seeds, 3/4" apart, 1/2" deep in rows 6 to 12" apart and
thin to 1-1/2". Maintain adequate soil moisture.
HARVEST: Harvest when small, when roots are about the same diameter as
a nickel.
STORAGE: Store in plastic bags or containers in the refrigerator.
SEED SAVERS: Isolate a minimum of 1/8 mile for home use. For pure seed
isolate from wild and cultivated radish by a minimum of 1/4 to 1/2 mile.
PACKET: 7 g (about 625 seeds), sows 25'.
